The SHL is a hockey player sim league that has been running strong for over thirty seasons in its current iteration! Through the use of Simon T. Hockey Simulator and a unique progression system, the SHL promises to be just what you're looking for and more!

With recent GM changes, we obviously are looking to make big changes both in structure and philosophy. Frankly we want to win some god damn games, make the playoffs in a few seasons down the road when you start to peak, win the fucking thing.

Yes you will hear... Portland sucks... Portland is dead...

Well... yeah we do suck... but we have pieces. We have draft picks. We have a plan to build this organization in a way that will start attracting people versus being the laughing stock. We have weekly contests with rewards and ample playing time for those who stay active.

So in my first time coming up with some questions, here you go rooks...

1. Favorite NHL Team?2. What other sim leagues are you in?3. If you had to pick from accomplishing now, accomplishing in the future, and never accomplishing; how would you put these in order: Challenge Cup, League MVP, GM an SHL/SMJHL team.4. Jobs you have currently?5. Do you button top to bottom or bottom to top?6. Have you ever actually played hockey?7. Favorite youtube cover song... post link.

1. Favorite NHL Team? Washington Capitals (local team) or maybe Buffalo Sabres as a 2nd team.2. What other sim leagues are you in? None3. If you had to pick from accomplishing now, accomplishing in the future, and never accomplishing; how would you put these in order: I would love to accomplish all three eventually. In terms of importance, I would put the Challenge Cup first. You want to win championships with your teammates after all. I would say being GM would come second. I am extremely obsessive and I just know I would get obsessed over that and constantly try to improve my team. Being league MVP would still be amazing but realistically Id rather have a long and steady career rather than one where I end up MVP one year. I still think you can have a fantastic career without an MVP4. Jobs you have currently? None on this site yet!5. Do you button top to bottom or bottom to top? I am more of a mixer. Sometimes I do top to bottom, sometimes bottom to top. If pushed, I guess bottom to top. 6. Have you ever actually played hockey? Never!7.

3. If you had to pick from accomplishing now, accomplishing in the future, and never accomplishing; how would you put these in order: Challenge Cup, League MVP, GM an SHL/SMJHL team.Challenge Cup is my first priority before my career is over. The other two are mostly irrelevant to me. I could take a lesser leadership role than GM eventually.

4. Jobs you have currently?Mr. Mom. Contract EMC Engineer. None in the SHL or GOMHL

5. Do you button top to bottom or bottom to top?Top to bottom unless or until I fuck it up. Then bottom to top, shaking my head.

Go Jets Go I also like the Columbus Blue Jackets because they have a lot of Portland Winterhawks alumni (Seth Jones (Ryan Johansen also a Winterhawk), Brandon Dubinsky, Paul Bittner, Oliver Bjorkstrand). My girlfriend is a Blackhawks fan, so I watch their games often as well.

2. What other sim leagues are you in?

None, this is my first sim league.

5. Do you button top to bottom or bottom to top?

I'm wearing a dress shirt today (as I often do to work) and this morning I buttoned bottom to top. Not a large enough sample size to confirm. Will record more observations and revisit.

6. Have you ever actually played hockey?

So, I'm from a corner of the US where youth hockey reallllly isn't much of a thing. I didn't play ice hockey growing up. However! I did play roller hockey as a teenager at a nearby park that had a roller hockey rink/court with goals and boards. I can skate, though I'm better on wheels than ice.

If you had to pick from accomplishing now, accomplishing in the future, and never accomplishing; how would you put these in order: Challenge Cup, League MVP, GM an SHL/SMJHL team.Challenge Cup, because it is the most realistic one to get now. League MVP as that is a good thing to add to your career resume, but won't happen now. And SHL/SMJHL GM as at the moment I do not feel qualified to be one and Im not sure I will ever feel any different.4. Jobs you have currently?None and might not have any in the nearest future.5. Do you button top to bottom or bottom to top?I actually start at the middle then go from middle down and then from middle up.6. Have you ever actually played hockey?Sadly I have not even had a chance to learn to skate, so no I haven't.7. Favorite youtube cover song... post link.I guess this one...
